How Points Are Calculated

Opponent Strength

Games against higher-ranked opponents are worth more. Beating a top 5 team earns significantly more points than beating an unranked team.

Location Modifier

Away wins receive a 1.1x bonus, home wins get a 0.9x modifier, and neutral site games stay at 1.0x. Road victories are harder and thus more valuable.

Margin of Victory

Larger margins add bonus points. A blowout win against a quality opponent is worth more than a close victory.
